SEXUAL MYTHS – MALE
Myth #1: All penises should be straight when erect.
Fact: Most penises point in different directions when erect. Some point upward, some downward, some point to the left and others to the right -- it's completely normal.
Myth #2: Sperm can live in water and impregnate my girlfriend.
Fact: Although it's not impossible, the chances of your floating sperm impregnating your woman in the water are virtually nil. When sperm is exposed to oxygen (there's oxygen in water, hence H2O), they die in under a minute. But keep in mind that if you ejaculate inside of her whilst in a hot tub or the like, she can most definitely get pregnant.
Myth #3: Condoms prevent all STDs.
Fact: Non-curable infections like (oral and genital) herpes and HPV (Human Papilloma Virus - warts) are incurable and if your partner has such infections, she can pass them onto you with or without the use of condoms. Be careful.
Myth #4: Guys are always ready for sex.
Fact: Believe it or not, it's okay if you "aren't in the mood." It doesn't mean that something is wrong with you physically. Stress, fatigue, old age, and even being turned off are viable reasons for not wanting to have sex.
Myth #5: All men should be able to ejaculate at a great distance like the great Peter North.
Fact: Let go of the porn! Not all guys can ejaculate at a great velocity and distance. Although the PC muscle may be able to aid in ejaculating at a further distance, there are no guarantees
Myth #6: When women ejaculate, it's nothing more than urine.
Fact: While some women could very well be urinating on you, most are actually ejaculating a fluid that flows out of the urethra from what's called the Skene's glands. Researchers who performed a chemical analysis of female ejaculate revealed that the presence of high levels of prostatic acid phosphatase (a chemical secreted by the prostate gland and found in semen) would indicate that a woman's ejaculation is similar in composition to semen (only without the sperm, of course).
Myth #7: Masturbating aggressively and rigorously is harmless.
Fact: While masturbating is fine for the most part, if you masturbate often and at an aggressive and rigorous pace, no vagina or mouth will be able to mimic such speeds and thus there's a chance you won't be able to reach climax when with a partner. When you masturbate, do so softly and at a normal, rhythmic speed. This way, your penis will enjoy softer sensations.
Myth #8: A woman can't get pregnant if she's on her period.
Fact: Although the chances might be slimmer, there is still a chance that a woman could get pregnant during her period. Sperm can live inside a woman for up to five days and although most women ovulate between periods, there is a chance that they could ovulate sooner and get pregnant.
Myth #9: Men know when a woman is faking orgasm.
Fact: While some women are terrible at acting, others can win awards for their performances. It's not always their fault as some women think they are actually having orgasms. And there are those who opt to fool you into thinking they had an orgasm.
Myth #10: If your woman wants to use sex toys, then you're an inadequate lover.
Fact: A lot of the time, sex toys are brought into the bedroom to add some variation to your sex life and aren't an attack on your manhood. Don't take it personally (unless of course, all she wants to play with is the toys). Enjoy some variety with your partner.
Myth #11: If you masturbate or have sex every day, you'll run out of sperm.
Fact: Healthy adult men produce about 300 million sperm each day (give or take a couple). The first ejaculate of the day for a healthy male will release approximately 180 million sperm (some contain more); the following ejaculates will contain less sperm that day.
So there you have it, some of the most common questions I get asked over and over again. Now you have the truth, use it wisely.
